Review 11 for Docks Oyster Bar and Seafood Grill

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"My wife and I had an amazing meal here on Valentines but I bet it's good everyday. The oysters were fantastic, then the sushi, excellent, followed by lobster clam bake - delicious and my wife had the scallops - also delicious. Our waitress was there whenever we needed something (as if by magic) and was really nice and helpful. We live in Europe, and try to come to NYC once a year for a long weekend. So we have to pick carefully where we eat, but Dock's is a place we'd definitely go back to."

Review 12 for Docks Oyster Bar and Seafood Grill

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"A disappointing experience on the whole, on a Sunday at 1:30 pm. Servers were friendly but not very attentive. In a largely empty restaurant, we were seated at a table where blinding sun shone right on us; no effort by servers to deal with this. Fried shrimp were overcooked in one meal; in another meal, sauteed scallops, though large and lovely looking, seemed dry, probably also from overcooking. In a small basket of rolls, one roll was almost as hard as the proverbial rock. We won't return to Docks."

"The restaurant was very nicely appointed and the wait staff was quite friendly and nice. The oysters were excellent as was the main dishes. I especially enjoyed the dessert which I was not going to have. The Valhrona chocolate pudding was wonderful. We really enjoyed the dining experience and if ever on the east side again would go back."

"Service was slow even though the waitress was nice, but we had to ask for bread for water etc. Several items on the menu were not available, even though we got in at 7.45PM. The table next to us wanted to order shrimp cocktail & they were out of that!
The oysters were disapointing small not as good as in the past. Dessert (profiterolles)were uninspired & dry."

"While we were seated on time for our 8:30 pm reservation, several of the items we were interested in ordering were no longer available. Service wasn't great - several people came by to try to take our drink order - so it didn't seem like we had a 'set' waitperson. It was pretty loud and there was one very "loud talker" sitting near us who didn't stop talking the entire time - and now our party of 7 pretty much knows her entire life story.
It just wasn't the best experience we've had at Dock's..."

Review 19 for Docks Oyster Bar and Seafood Grill

Overall Rating 1.0 out of 5 (Poor)
"I chose Dock's because this is one of the only places in Manhattan which CLAIMS to have steamed Ipswich Clams (i.e. Steamers). However, of course when I ordered them at 7:45 I found out that they were all sold out. I brushed this off and proceeded to order the incredibly disappointing Lobster Chowder which was a Valentine's Day special. My Crabcake's which claimed to be Maryland-style were pan-fried and more 'fast food' than anything else. Our lobster Mac&Cheese was runny and the lobster was exceptionally chewy. My baked potato was not cut and grossly undercooked. The service was slow, lacked any semblance of charm or efficiency, and we were forgotten about for our two hours dining there. I will never return. I will never recommend Dock's."

"Great place for lunch, dinner, and after work drink. The seafood is crisp, fresh, clean and delicious. Sushi just as good as any top notch sushi place.
The service was impeccable from the maitre d to the service.
The atmosphere was particularly incredible to me. I like a lot of natural light and since there are huge elevations of glass all around it is quite refreshing to be surrounded by a happier ambiance."

"Exceptional visit for a large group. Started with a reservation for 6. After being seated, we realized some additional colleagues would join us, and I told the waiter 2 more. Michael and a team VERY QUICKLY, and very artfully, expanded our table with a round top (over the existing). All we had to do was hold our drinks. Our additional guests arrived, all went smoothly, and then we announced the addition of yet another guest, who trickled in later, who was also easily accommodated. All was taken care of smoothly and professionally. No one acted inconvenienced, but rather welcomed the additions. Oh, and the food was great. Drinks were great. Not my first visit, but Docks has jumped up a level in my rating book with this performance."

"A good place for seafood. The food was very fresh and the service was great! The only draw-back was the table I was seated at. My seat faced the window and everytime a car turnded onto the block, the headlights shined right on me."
